I continue to be amazed at how much noise Twitter gets for being the darling of the A-listers. There's some interesting sociology in here somewhere.

I tried Pownce during one of the recent outages and couldn't get into it. Aside from the fact that no one I know is on Pownce, which is a big issue, it lacks something, I don't know what, that Twitter gets. I'm on Twitter every day, and yet I have to admit, I still don't quite get what makes it so addicting. But it is.

In time things will get better with twitter because there are lot of people and corporations want twitter to work. Companies want to communicate with their customers. Twitter is a lot better then IM and a chatroom. One can control who reads and who they want to follow. A this time one can only send a message of 140 characters. Some new things does not make it. I remember when I first signed up with SecondLife everything was working great. Now SL has more bugs then most things with computers. Some how I see twitter is going to make it. Yes twitter has bugs, but it is new. I ask that you are wade it out for a while. Right now, twitter does have issues, but so did blogging.

Such an open standard would not be dependent on a particular web site. It wouldn't be at the mercy of a particular vendor. It could be readily implemented by every social networking host, portable internet device, and a range of other access points that nobody has thought of. That's the way to build a better bird cage.
